Aboriginal Community Care Worker

An Aboriginal Community Care Worker supports Indigenous people to improve their health and well-being. You might be involved with a particular program or work with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders in a community centre or clinic. An Aboriginal Community Care Worker might provide advice or assistance with accessing other community services. You may help with basic health assessments and screenings or you might be part of programs addressing social and emotional well-being.

Aboriginal Community Care Workers need to have excellent communication skills. You’ll be working with a range of people from your clients to families and other health professionals. It’s important that you can listen and show support when required. Aboriginal Community Care Workers need to be flexible and be able to work with multiple clients at any one time.
